The Hebrew Ball.

Mention was made Sunday that the
Ladies' Hebrew Committee endeavored
to secure the Armory for their ball.
While this was true, the reason they tried
to get it was that they did not know they
could secure the Theatre Everybody
knows what an admirable place the The
atre is for ball, and some of the most
fashionable and elegant ever given in the
city have been at this place. Besides,
all Richmond is aware that in ev-
cry cause of charity, regardless
of class, condition or creed
Mrs. Powell has been second to nobody
in her observation-disclosures, Gentle, CathO-
lie, the orphans, and every city charity,
has at some time or other, had cause to be
grateful either for her bounty or for her
kind offers in their behalf. No one had
any intention of making a convenience of
the Theatre, on the contrary, the fact that
the ball will take place there, gives it an
additional attraction.

A Sad SpectacIe.

Yesterday as an attachee of THE TINES
and Rev. w. p. Wright were walking
down Jefferson street, their attention was
attracted to a crowd of boys over the
PROSTATE body of another boy about IA
years of age. They went over and found
that he was completely overcome by
liquor Some men near by kindly offered
to take the boy to his widowed mother
who lived in the vicinity? What punish
ment is adequate for those who would
sell such boy liquor. No matter how
light the laws there seem to be plenty of
ways for evading them.

Snccess Wins a Prize.

People of to-day are not deceived by
the empty clustering of unsuccessful
men. Money talks best. Success wins
the prize every time, and the achieve
ments of capital backed by brains,
counts for more than anything e.se.
\ recent illustration of this fact is
found in the transfer of the local agency
of the new Emerson Piano, which has
all the latest patented improvements, 10
Walter ID. Moses IL Co.
This transfer was accomplished bv
the voluntary action of the Emerson
Piano Company, which notified their
former agent that they had turned their
agency on January DIST, over to Walter
ID. Moses d Co. This step was taken on
account of the high reputation of this
firm as the most reliable and successful
dealers in Musical Instruments in Rich
mOnd The firm accepted the agency be-
cause they knew that the reputation of
this popular piano is so well established
as not only to call for no comment. but
because they knew that they have facili-
ties for handling pianos superior to any
other firm, and on more satisfactory terms
TO suit customers
1t will therefore, pay the purchaser to
call and compare our prices for the Emer-
son and other Pianos with those offered
by dealers in this or in any other city in
the United States. We are the only
authorized agents for the Emerson Piano
Company, and the only house carrying
a stock of the New Emerson Piano. Call
